Favorite movie trailer music?

[Seraphiel]

Sorry if this is a repeating topic, but trying to compile some of the best trailer music...very good music used in trailers (like the Dark City theme) or music that WOULD go very well in trailers (like O Fortuna)

There is the famous Judge Dredd Trailer Theme from John Beals... always a classic must-have

 

[lacrymosa]

O Fortuna has been used in more trailers and movies that I can count, I would like to see more Ode To Joy choral stuff in trailers. I would also like Ebla to be used a bit more. Escape, and all that choral jazz is always great.

I just used it as an example of something that was written for something other than a trailer...as opposed to something that WAS written for the trailer specifically...

Best use of O Fortuna: Exacaliber

Don't know if you really do mean "Pompeii" but "Nara" by E.S. Posthumus is used on quite a few trailers, the most recent being "The Clearing" with Robert Redford, Wilem Dafoe and a few others (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/the_clearing/) looks good.

One movie soundtrack that is starting to get used here and there for film trailers, and that I personally love, is the soundtrack to "The Thin Red Line" by Hans Zimmer. It has a wonderfully slow and moody ambience to it. The biggest movie trailer I remember it being used in was for "Pearl Harbour": The trailer starts out with a couple of boyscouts actually looking down on invading Japanese fighter-planes sweeping through the valley below them.

The last or second-to-last track is also really nice, a sort of native chant that, I can cheat and say was in a movie trailer, because it was in the trailer for the "Thin Red Line".

Also, from the trailer and again the soundtrack for 28 days later - a fragement from the "Godspeed you Black Emperor" album "F#a#(infinity)"

Well, I feel that the Spiderman 2 trailer music (Lacrimosa, Immediate Muic) was pretty well implemented. Quite a few people (including me) were searching rather desperately for the name of the song once the first Spiderman 2 trailers came out. The power and effectiveness of the theme is still pretty obvious, whenever I listen to the song.
